All-year barbecue

Bob grilling chicken for lunch yesterday.

We definitely use our grill more than our oven.  One year, when our oven failed on Christmas day, we finished up the turkey on the grill.  We use the grill year round.  We've adapted our mind-set to include parkas and leather jackets among our grilling clothing.  Yesterday morning we woke to find a soft powdery snow frosting trees, power lines and fences.  It was still there at noon so Bob grilled outside while I cooked the rest inside.  When the snow comes softly in the night without wind-blown drifts and slippery roads, I am totally happy to celebrate winter.  So yesterday we did, even having that rare thing for us:  wine at mid-day. 

Below is a photo I took yesterday morning of the snow in our front yard.

LOVE IT! Grilling in the middle of the winter...what better place to be? Your cat is a beautiful I think our animals think we are odd putting trees in our house! The Grossology event sounded so fun! Love visual stuff like that!..and ah...your first fire! I can just hear the crackling of it! WELL SAID! Many times I feel the same way..I guess to have hope for more optimism is the only way to go!

We got about this amount in the morning, and then it started to really snow, ending with about twelve inches. Brutally cold last night as well: it went down to 7F. I kept being woken by the furnace being on.
